Thomas Norris was born in Killarney, County Kerry, in 1827. He emigrated in 1851, near the end of the Great Famine, sailing from Cork to New York City aboard the Swedish brig Sirius. Thomas Norris’s wife, Ann (née Hannon), was a native of County Limerick. She likewise left Ireland for New York in 1851, sailing on the ship Constellation out of the port of Liverpool. By the 1855 New York State Census, she and Thomas were married and living in New York City’s 9th Ward, where Thomas found work as a tailor. By 1860, the family had moved down to the 1st Ward, located at the tip of Manhattan and the site of the Battery, Castle Garden, the Custom House, and other prominent landmarks. They owned no real estate, and had a total personal estate value of just $200. Thomas served with the 69th New York State Militia at First Bull Run. He subsequently enrolled in the 170th New York Corcoran's Irish Legion in January 1862, beginning his service as a first lieutenant of Co. H, and was promoted to captain of the same company the following year. Thomas was wounded at Petersburg on 16th June 1864, and spent months recovering in the hospital before being discharged from the service in May 1865.
